Japanese tactical shop Sukeru has introduced the Tactical Alone Hood. Basically, it’s a stand-alone hood made from NYCO, or similar fabric, which can be worn in conjunction with load bearing equipment such as hanrnesses, armor or backpacks. Conceptually, the idea has merit and is one-step removed from items like Crye Precision’s HalfJak. However, the Tactical Alone Hood doesn’t feature sleeves, nor is it insulated. Perhaps a new material is in order. I’d also like to see the inventor go for some lower profile buckles, and maybe introduce elastic webbing.
